Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in a mute thing that most looks like it would have a cute voice, create and debut a new children's character, score a goal against Tom while one of them is blindfolded, make the most pleasurable sound whilst looking the most unpleasurable, and turn an exercise ball into a world globe with a randomly selected medium. Also, two contestants settle the tied episode by skimming a stone across the lake.

Title context

Dave Hughes directly addresses his (presumably mortified) kids at home by saying “You can have tomorrow off school”, after his attempt at the ‘Make the most pleasurable sound whilst looking the most unpleasurable’ task is shown.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, it's the guy who always goes to the hospital when he gets pins and needles, because he takes no chances: it's Tom Cashman.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So, what have we learned? We learned Emma has a horny preoccupation with cutesy characters. We learned on top of her Gold Logies, Lisa also has a golden boot. And we learned from Tommy Little... [imitates Tommy’s licking sound from the ‘Make the most pleasurable sound whilst looking the most unpleasurable’ task]. Help our winner Waka celebrate their victory, and we'll see you next time.
